TPJ – seriously? What wasn’t Aaron Woods or James Tamou available. Talk about dumb left field ideas. Surely Finucane, De Belin, McLean or Safiti would have been a better idea than that knucklehead. Can’t wait to see him give away half a dozen penalties within kicking range and the Blues lose by 4. Hopefully this will be another one added to the list of origin one game wonders.

NSW Origin I team: Hynes, Pangai, Young to debut, Turbo, Frizell, Foxx back but duo ruled out in new-look side

You’re kidding right? How many opportunities do you want? And what are these positive signs you refer to? Lomax going backwards after 3 years under hook? That factor keeps playing has been and doesn’t develop up and comers? Seriously if Elmer Fudd is still in a job by Tuesday I’m burning my jersey. It doesn’t get any worse than this and you want him to stay?

ANALYSIS: Griffin hangs by thread as 'dumb' Dragons bomb another close one, while Jahream the Dream inspires Tigers again

These halfwits couldn’t even get their ANZAC Day jerseys right as they put images of US troops on the instead of Australian ones. What an absolute joke. As a currently serving veteran with 23 years and counting under my belt l, I find this absolutely disgraceful. What is such an amateurish outfit doing in the NRL? Forced relocation seems to be the only way forward for this joke of a club.

Sorry Tigers to fix Anzac jersey after design debacle as club mired in chronic mediocrity tries to rebuild yet again

Can someone tell me what this obsession with Agar is all about? The guy is rubbish so why take him to India?

Cummins wants video system reviewed, Agar not so horrible, No pink ball for SCG, Proteas optimistic: Talking Points

Ease up champ, too early in the day for being that emotionally drunk.

'Sharks circling': Aussies sniff clean sweep as quicks leave Proteas 'hanging on for dear life'

Un Australian would be putting the individual ahead of the team, considering we’ve only got 2 days to bowl the saffas out twice and agar is the worst test bowler I’ve seen since Bryce Mcgain (still trying to figure out why he was picked). And the speed Khawaja bats, he’d have taken half an hour to get those 5 runs – valuable time when you need wickets

No one gives a rat’s about the mariners and reds. They got what they deserved.

Dragons fans up in arms as club considers name change to wipe St George and Illawarra off the map

How does Lance Thomson not make the top ten let alone the list at all? I know the poor bugger is dead but what happened to gone, but not forgotten.

25 in 25: Best players in NRL era never to play Origin - Blacklock, Orford, Johnston, Presto, Barba, Sutton?

Very well done, geez how did we all forget “Looks like Tarzan plays like Jane” Tamou. Proctor as well, how he’s ever justified a pay cheque is beyond me.

Forget about the Dally Ms, it’s time to get your votes in for the Duftys

Yeah I was at the Taj Mahal (leagues club) that day. Was quite messy. In the preceding 22 years I have punched at least 3 storm fans that I can remember for ribbing me over that. I celebrated like a man possessed when the great Sven Ottke knock Mundine out. Never thought I’d be celebrating the achievements of a German but hey.

I’ll take your Glover and raise you a Mundine for his genius performance spilling the ball over the line in the 99 grand final (and about a million other things over his so called career)

Lydon and Platt were pretty good, the rest were rubbish.

Dude Currier was actually pretty good, he played in the same team as Handley.

True that. I’d have to have Trent Barrett and Nathan Brown as coaches – it would be awesome, they could continually underachieve and slap each other when things go wrong. Considering how
much he got paid for his final few seasons for the Broncos, maybe this is where Darius Boyd could follow in uncle Wayne’s footsteps and kick off his coaching career as an assistant.

Oh definitely George. Yeah, it was probably why Rava made so many mistakes, listening to Dufty “guide the team around the park” like a good fullback should. Forgot to add Aitken and Lodge to that list as well. Waqa Blake could probably get a run and if they were short of numbers in the halves, Sean Johnson would be pushing for selection. Hell, Dugan could even dust of the boots if the outside backs started to get a bit thin.

Hey he was helping her with her maths homework. Just showing her how many times 24 would go into 16.

Forget Schuster, if you want someone who refuses to pass the ball look no further than Euan Aitken. When you’re a centre who is slower than most props, low to the ground and has the footwork of a wheelchair bound 90 year old, you might think that passing to your outside man would a valuable skill.

Yeah what about that skinny pommy loser (I think it was Tompkins) who came over from Wigan on a million a year to play fullback for the Warriors a few years ago and made Dufty look like Tedesco. Luke Thompson at the dogs also comes to mind, as does Adam Blair.

He couldn’t be trusted to turn up.

LMAO, funniest Roar article in ages with the added benefit of being entirely accurate. If you had a Dufty team of the year it would look something like this.
1. Dufty – technically he’s still running around
2. Ravalawa – how many times can a winger get done for high/late shots
3. James Roberts – really needs no explanation
4. Ramien – not sure why he’s actually ever done to warrant the amount of column inches he’s received
5. Watene-Zelezniak – This guy wanted fullback money and couldn’t get a run at the dogs
6. Milford – another that need no explanation
7. Brooks – and another (closely followed by Moses and DCE)
8. Woods – redefined soft
9. McCullough – hasn’t been bad lately, but on the money he’s getting……
10. Rudolf – from the Willie Mason school of “look at my cool hair so you don’t realise how ordinary I am”
11. Capwell – like everyone else here, what does he actually do
12. Arrow – pea hearted grub and gloriously overrated
13. Pangai Junior – literally the only person that could challenge Dufty to have his name on this award.
14. Fafita (pick one)
15. Ofahengaue
16. Burgess
17. Foran (should have hung them up years ago)

I agree, the Warriors threw a bunch of them. That ref needs to pick up his act though, he was rubbish. Good to see Sua got stuck in, he is a great pickup. Suli had a shocker in the first half but he looked like he sorted it out in the second. This Tariq to the storm rubbish has to be a great up. I’d be bringing him of the bench and get rid of Gosiewski. That blokes defence is appalling.

Dragons snap Queensland streak as Ravalawa hat-trick leads them to win over Warriors

Excellent analysis Mike. Gotta love the way league evolves and eventually comes back around to its old ways. I’m stoked to see the return of classy attacking centres. One of the things I hated the most was watching league try to emulate union and have giant humans in the centres that would just run over people rather than use skill and footwork to get around them. One of my favourite sights of 15-20 years ago was watching Mark Gasnier bamboozle and step around the opposition. Same same Steve Renouf and Mark Coyne. Also good to see see locks not being used as third props anymore. Again, a bit more creativity less battering ram. Also like the majority of Dragons supporters, I’m all for the Hunt to hooker idea allowing Sullivan to play halfback. Hunt would be the perfect combo of ball playing, distribution and ball running when needed. As much as I like Andy McCollough, he’s not going to win you a comp.

Sorry to say this to a fellow dragons fan but you’re dribbling pretty hard with that comment mate.

You must be a warriors fan if you want to Woods in the 18. Don’t know how they would roll with 2 second rowers on the bench (neither of whom are much chop) and that passenger Kerr in the starting line up.
